My First Vlog!!!


My first thought when I see a girl with perfect curls is “seriously why can’t my hair curl like that?!” My second is, ” I have to keep practicing my curling skills!” I have mentioned my love for hot curlers and the wand before and trust me, I get great curls with those products, but my problem was never the curls, it was getting the curls to stay!!! Enter in the KISS Instawave!! 

I was really nervous to try the automatic curler because of the possibility of my hair getting caught, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! The product boasts the following:

  • automatic and tangle -free curler
  • easy for anyone to use from any angle and with any hand
  • left and right curl directions
  • automatically shuts off after 90 minutes
  • two heat settings with a maximum temperature of 420

I think it’s really best to show how the product works and the best way to do that is with a video! So without further adieu, here is my first vlog using the Instawave!! It’s pretty funny so I hope you enjoy!! I’m sorry the quality is not 100% but filming at night is hard…actually filming period is hard! There’s also music if that’s at all enticing…

You can also view the video here

Left: Straight hair before curling

Middle: Right after curling

Right: Second day curls

I can’t get over how the curls hold up on the second day – that’s probably my favorite part, aside from not having to worry about burning myself!! 

Kiss Instawave is available for purchase from the following retailers: Target, Ulta & Amazon.

What’s your favorite way to curl your hair? Would you ever consider an automatic curler?

And created a gif just for fun!! 

This product was sent to me by Brand Backer in exchange for my honest feedback, all opinions are 100% my own!

    Yeah!!!!!!! The vlog came out amazing!!!!!! I would have been nervous too that it would get tangled in my hair but it does a fabulous job! Gary is the best! When I did my hair vlog I had my camera on a tripod so much harder than a handsome assistant 😉 This also makes me what to try that conair thing that sucks your hair in and makes the perfect wave have you seen that one too? Gorgeous girl!

    Oh my gosh you are SO brave! Anything "automatic" that involves heat stays SO far from my head. I was the kid who had a round brush stuck in my hair WAY too often as a kid! Your hair is so pretty and silky! Great job with the video friend!

    I love that the first thing you said was "this is what I sound like!" ha ha! I ALWAYS wonder how bloggers sound! Love the video, you did such a good job! Also, your hair is gorrrrrrrrgeous! Look at all that shine, and you don't even color it! Love!

    Great video lady! You sound great, and its nice to match a voice to a blogger haha. I would be afraid of that thing like eating my hair, otherwise it sounds like a great tool! I'll have to share this with my sister, she has long hair like you and would like it. 🙂

    Ahhhhhhh! I'm so impressed with your first vlog! You're a pro, girl! I've been wondering about those automatic curlers, and now I think I'm going to have to invest in one! (Santa???). Great post, girl!

    Ok first off I'm loving hearing how you sound! That sounds so weird, I know =)

    This tool looks awesome! I love how your curls turned out! You know I've had the worst luck with curling my hair so I will definitely check it out. I love the tutorial video btw! You did a great job explaining how it works. I have tried another instant curler from Conair which was a disaster and I'm glad I still have hair on my head! lol

    OMG this looks awesome!! My hair doesn't hold curl for ANYTHING (I've gotten it done professionally, and by the time they are done, it's already falling). I may have to try this one out!
    P.S. you're so cute!! Love the vlog! 🙂

    ok I was finally able to watch this when I got home 🙂
    first off, oh my gosh Biana, YOUR HAIR is amazing!!! Seriously, gorgeous.
    And you are so cute! I just love your accent.
    I have seen a couple of reviews for this (um they could totally send me one if they want..) and this is the first one that really made me want to buy it because of the video, so helpful! brilliant 🙂
    It sounds like a great tool but honestly what I have right now works.. if it was cheaper I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

    That is crazy! I've never seen a curling iron like it. Had I not watched your video, I totally would have thought it would tangle your hair up. The curls look amazing!
